From Mayra and Jorge,
Just over two months ago, our lives changed completely. Jorge Anariba Bernhard was diagnosed with leukemia, and since then, every day has been a battle we never imagined we would have to face.
Jorge has always been a joyful, active, and generous person. He loves the forest, nature, and takes dedicated care of his pets. He is hardworking, curious, and enjoys solving problems and helping others. Today, he is the one who needs help.
Due to leukemia, Jorge experienced having no immune defenses, which led him to suffer from several infections requiring constant medical attention. He has undergone bone marrow biopsies and was hospitalized in an isolated room—an essential measure to protect his life from any possible infection.
His chemotherapy treatment is expected to last approximately six months. Although Jorge is stable and fighting with incredible strength, medical expenses continue to rise every day. Each day involves hospitalization, specialized medications, tests, and/or constant care.
At this moment, we need support to be able to continue his treatment without interruptions. The funds raised will be used to cover:
- Hospitalization and specialized medical care
- Chemotherapy and high-cost medications
- Treatment of infections associated with immunosuppression
- Medical tests, biopsies, and studies
- Medical supplies and hospital expenses
- Bone marrow transplant
- Essential logistics such as travel, lodging, and related expenses necessary to access treatment outside of Honduras
Asking for help is not easy, but today we do so with the hope that Jorge can continue fighting with the medical care he needs.
If you can donate, please do so today. If not, please know that your support is still appreciated, you can share this campaign or reach out to a family member and learn about other ways you can make a difference.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this story. Your support, in any form, means more than we can express.

De parte de Mayra y Jorge,
Hace poco más de dos meses, nuestras vidas cambiaron por completo. Jorge Anariba Bernhard fue diagnosticado con leucemia y, desde entonces, cada día ha sido una batalla que nunca imaginamos tener que enfrentar.
Jorge siempre ha sido una persona alegre, activa y generosa. Ama el bosque, la naturaleza y cuida con dedicación a sus mascotas. Es trabajador, curioso y disfruta resolver problemas y ayudar a los demás. Hoy, es él quien necesita ayuda.
Debido a la leucemia, Jorge perdió sus defensas inmunológicas, lo que lo ha llevado a sufrir diversas infecciones que requieren atención médica constante. Ha pasado por biopsias de médula ósea y fue hospitalizado en una habitación aislada, una medida esencial para proteger su vida de cualquier posible infección.
Se estima que su tratamiento de quimioterapia tenga una duración aproximada de seis meses. Aunque Jorge se encuentra estable y luchando con una fortaleza increíble, los gastos médicos continúan aumentando cada día. Cada jornada implica hospitalización, medicamentos especializados, exámenes y cuidados constantes.
En este momento, necesitamos apoyo para poder continuar su tratamiento sin interrupciones. Los fondos recaudados se utilizarán para cubrir:
- Hospitalización y atención médica especializada
- Quimioterapia y medicamentos de alto costo
- Tratamiento de infecciones asociadas a la inmunosupresión
- Exámenes médicos, biopsias y estudios
- Insumos médicos y gastos hospitalarios
- Trasplante de médula ósea
- Gastos logísticos esenciales como viajes, alojamiento y costos relacionados para acceder al tratamiento fuera de Honduras
Pedir ayuda no es fácil, pero hoy lo hacemos con la esperanza de que Jorge pueda seguir luchando con la atención médica que necesita.
Si puedes donar, por favor hazlo hoy. Si no, compartir esta campaña también es una enorme forma de ayudar.
